Since very often i find when looking at the paragon skill set that often there are builds which simply dont require any elite from the paragon line, so ive compiled a list of good elite choices for a paragon, this is mainly for PvP, but there are some pve skills as well:


Warrior:

Charge

To Help your monks kite in the backline, and increase mobility for splits, without needing to spend an elite on a warrior


"Victory is Mine!"
A PvE Elite, would work well combined with watch yourself/gfte and blazing finale

"Coward!"

Usually a trash elite, but on a paragon (Who often has a free elite) it becomes pretty solid, that enemy monk kiting your warriors? that warrior chasing your monk? that flagrunner trying to get to the flagstand? with IAS this could be used every 7 or so seconds, not bad

Soldier's Stance

if you have a bar full of adrenaline skills, this will be your best option to build adrenaline faster, assuming you have low leadership (if you have high leadership, use Soldier's fury, with low leadership the durations better, but you have to stop for 1s to activate it)

"You're All Alone!"
This Skill is overpowered plain and simple, your paragon can snare kiting monks, flagrunners and warriors in your backline, godly

Ranger

Nothing Generally usefull here

Monk

Empathic Removal
Good to keep yourself and warriors clean of blind and hex's (a blind paragon cant build adrenaline)

Signet of Removal
Same as above, but minus the energy cost, and less usefull

Mesmer

Echo
Plenty of skills for the paragon to benifit from echo's use

Signet of Midnight
a Pve Elite, combine with epidemic


Expel Hexes
Keep your team clean of hexes, enough said

Elementalist:

Nothing of general use here

Necromancer:


Grenth's Balance
A pve farming elite, but could be of good use for an offensive split team in GvG

Assassin:

Aura of Displacement

Usefull , but only in specific builds, use to over-extend

Shadow Shroud
If the paragon has attribute points spare, this can be used to good effect, only 4 or 5 seconds duration is needed

Shroud of Silence
If the Paragon has attribute points spare, this is also very useful, imagine being able to shutdown the monk/blindbot sent by the enemy team to defend against your split

Shadow Meld
Usefull , but only in specific builds, use to over-extend

Dervish:

Grenth's Grasp

Even with minimal points, can be used to spread cripple at multiple targets of oppertunity, can easly keep both enemy monks and warriors snared at once

Sandy Grip

Even with 0 points, you can keep two warriors blind all the time , could see blindbots replaced by this, no energy management problems, and re-apply every 1.5 seconds (or less IAS)
